Gauntlet, one of a pair with A257, each having a short cuff, the edge turned under, without wrist-plate; the buckle is modern. Mittens of four overlapping lames, nicked in the centre, the first is embossed for the ulna, the fifth is larger and has V-shaped recesses for the knuckles corresponding to similar treatment of the last one in reverse. Over these is the knuckle-plate with four bosses. The gauntlets end half way up the fingers with a moulded edge, and may have had extensions of mail; thumb-piece of three plates. The edge of the cuff is rolled inwards to form a ridge of almost triangular section. The thumb-plate is attached by means of a leather rather than a hinge.

The V-shaped nicks in the metacarpal lames may be a modern 'improvement', as they cut across the engraved line bordering the uppermost plate.
